CHURN.

SPECEICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340.194, dated April 20, 1886.

Application filed August17,l885. Serial No.174,537. (No model.) l A To all whom/it may concern:

Be it known that I, WEsLY M. CLINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rogersville, Ain the county of Hawkins and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns 5 and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referenceV being` had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a side elevation of the dasheractuating mechanism and a diametrical section through the churn-body. Fig. 2 is a side view of thecover for the churn-body. Fig. 3 is a bottoln view of the same. Fig. 4 is a vertical section taken through Fig. l in the course of dotted line This invention relatesto certain novel improvements in mechanism for rotating churndashers; and it consists in the combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.v

Adesignates the base of a goose-neck standard, B, vertically th rough the overhanging portionof which latter is a bearing for a spindle, C. This spindle C has formed on its lower part an enlarged coupling-head, a,

which is bored axially to receive the upperV segment is provided with a lever-handle, G, of suitable length.

It will be observed that the spindle and its pinion, and also the toothed segment, can be readily detached from the standard B, for the purpose of packing the churn and mechanism in a small space for transportation.

H designates the body of the churn, which lis of the upwardly-tapered shape represented in the annexed drawings. This churn-body is provided with a selfretaining removable cover, J, which is constructed as' follows:

d designates a concavo-convex dish having a hole centrally through it surrounded by a flange, e. Surrounding this dish d, and rising above its annular fiange f, is a rim or guard, g. Below the flange f iss an annular skirting or rim, g', which is adapted to t tightly into the mouth of the churn-body and to retain the cover in its place without leakage. peculiarity of the said ski-rting is that it is crimped or corrugated, as shown at h, and the corrugationsare oblique to the vertical axis of the cover. To easily apply or remove this cover it is given a slight rotaryV or screw movement. It will thus be seen that the cover is so constructed that it will return back into the churirbox any milk which escapes through the central hole in the dish d, and also that this cover will be retained on the churn-body without other fastening than is afforded Mby the crimps h.

The dasher K consists of vertical beveled blades Vz' i, secured to the dash-rod by short radial barsj j, as shown in Fig. l.

, For the purpose of equalizing the oscillations of the dash-rod, and at the same time fanning a person while operating` the churn, I employ a fan, L, the handle ot' which is inserted into a hole made throughthe spindle C above the pinion E, and the edge kof which is received between two of the teeth of said pinion. The fan thus applied is held firmly in proper position to effect the objects stated.

Having described my invention, @what I cla-imas new, and desire to secure lby Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the tapered churn-box, its dasher and dash-rod, and mechanism for actuating the 1atter,as described,with a cover, J, having a concavo-convex dish, d, a rinnf, flanges e g, and a corrugated skirtin g or flange, g,'asshown and described.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
